Hearing this, the governor's face was very unsightly.This suggestion, militarily, is undoubtedly very correct.But what about politics?
At this moment, he is not only the commander of the army, but also the governor of Lingnan Province.Do you want him to sit back and watch one village after another be breached, and sit back and watch the people die?
Within breathing, the governor thought of what would happen if he did this, and he would be impeached alive by many civil officials.In the end, even if the victory is won according to this policy, the reputation among civil officials will be considered over.A nickname that can't be saved when you see death is indispensable.Therefore, the governor was unwilling to accept the generals' suggestions.However, this is not the time to deal with military generals, we still need to wait, wait for an opportunity.After this meeting, the governor trained new soldiers and accelerated mobilization, while building hard villages, but did not send troops.However, as a result, one village after another, under the sneak attack of the thieves, broke up one after another.More and more people are ruined.Many mountain gods and lands were also killed.There are also more and more officials impeaching the governor.Still, the governor gritted his teeth and held on.He knew that this was not the time.Similarly, the increasingly fierce sneak attacks of thieves also prove that the generals' suggestions are actually correct.However, with one thing happening, the governor could no longer sit still.Even the generals had to approve of sending troops.The thief said, this time he directly launched a suicide attack.In the past, after the thieves attacked, they would flee for their lives.Then, they were hunted down and killed.If you catch up, it's a dead end.If you run away, you're lucky.Moreover, due to the defense of the imperial court, which is becoming more and more strict, the attack effect of the thief road is getting worse and worse, and the number of casualties is also increasing.And now, the thieves have begun to never return, causing as much damage as possible.Just yesterday, a few thieves sacrificed their bodies and opened the ghost gate, and hundreds of thousands of unjust ghosts and wild ghosts who had been prepared for a long time appeared from the ghost gate.In addition, more than 100 thieves did not hesitate to block the imperial court reinforcements, and as a result, more than 10,000 people in a township were completely killed.It's such a big thing, and I can't cover the lid.Even the generals who are not very proficient in politics know at this moment that the imperial court must make some actions to respond to the attack of the thief.This is also a helpless place, from the perspective of the art of war, the actions of the thieves are precisely forced to be urgent.This shows that it is very useful to build a hard village and wait for the situation to change.However, it is a pity that the thieves have gone crazy, and the collective death of the people in the whole country is enough, and the court must give an explanation, otherwise, the people's will will have problems.This is the bottom line of the imperial court.You have to move, you have to take revenge, you have to take revenge hard.Taking advantage of this opportunity, the governor, who had been prepared for a long time, successfully took 800,000 elite veterans, 50,000 Dao soldiers, 3,000 recruited Yin God True Beings, 100 Yang God True Persons, and 3 True Immortals to worship, and set out directly on the expedition.That's right, in order to win prestige and change the image, the governor went straight to the battle.With this army, he came to the border and began to attack Daoguo head-on.When he saw the news, Xiong Yan was a little confused.What the hell is this, what a godly operation!
Just 50,000 Dao soldiers and three True Immortals dared to directly attack the Dao Kingdom, could it be that there was something wrong with their brains?
Although Xiong Yan knew that it was unlikely that the governor would follow his advice, however, out of public interest, considering that his surname was Xiong after all, Xiong Yan still wrote a note to the governor, but unfortunately, it was still useless.Since then, Xiong Yan has known that this governor is a pill.However, he is just a governor of Nanzhou, and all he can do is to train as many recruits as possible, mobilize a few more times, and build more hard villages for defense.Once the governor is defeated, the next step will definitely be a large-scale attack by the Dao Kingdom.At this moment, build more hard villages, and when the time comes, you can sacrifice less.After the governor went on the expedition, the thief road of suicide attacks was gone.At the same time, Xuan Ning also used the governor's army to launch a great purge.All the forces that belonged to the Nine Great Elders before were sent to the front line by him, and they were their own people who survived, and they were pulled down when they died.This battle is three months.During these three months, the imperial court suffered heavy losses, and of the 800,000 elite veterans, only 600,000 remained.Of the 50,000 soldiers, only 30,000 remained.On the Dao Country's side, the losses are not small.But the problem is that none of the losses are Xuan Ning's descendants.After this battle, the governor's soldiers and horses seemed to have a lot of them, but most of them were wounded, and their combat strength was sharply reduced.On Xuanning's side, it seems that there have been heavy losses, but in fact, after eating up the power of some of the elders, the strength has been strengthened.It's a pity that these pieces of information are all at the highest level at this moment, and Xiong Yan has guessed at most.As for the evidence, there is absolutely none.After March, Xuanning began to retreat, constantly retreating, retreating ten to thirty miles a day.The governor is not all fools, every day after the victory, he will try his best to build hard villages, and use these hard villages to ensure their own logistics security.This battle is another three months.At this moment, Xiong Yan can see the military report sent by the governor every day.Victory!
Victory!
Victory after victory, victory after victory, so that the prestige of the governor continued to rise.In the same way, his control over the military is getting higher and higher.After the order was issued, no one dared to refute it.Looking at the military reports, and then at the map of the Dao country spread out in front of him, as well as some relevant information, Xiong Yan shook his head directly."
It's hopeless, wait for death.""
Look at the terrain here, thousands of miles deep into the Dao country, it seems that the situation is very good, but in fact it is not far from death!"
Hearing this, Oak also observed carefully: "Your Highness, why?
It seems that the governor did not make a big mistake.Although it can barely be regarded as a lone army, there is still a logistical support. ”"The longest interval between these hard villages is only about 30 miles, and the shortest is only 10 miles.Not only can logistics be guaranteed, but also can be retreated from these hard villages at any time. ”"Although this method consumes more resources, the imperial court has a lot of money, as long as it can win, this little resource is nothing, right?"
Hearing this, Xiong Yan turned around and took Oak Hua's hand, very seriously: "Oak Hua, you have to remember that those past art of war are just mortal art of war. ”"No, to be precise, it's the concept of the art of war, and it can still be used.However, the specific details, I dare not say that they are completely useless, more than ninety percent are useless. ”"Take this Wu Zi's Art of War as an example, when Wu Zi wrote this Art of War, he was just a Yang God True Man, and he hadn't even seen a True Immortal!
In this way, how useful is Wu Zi's Art of War in the face of true immortals?
”"In the same way, Sun Tzu's Art of War, Sima Law, and Shang Jun's large corps system......
Wait, those previous art of war are actually the art of war for mortals. ”"Even Sun Tzu, Wu Zi and others have never fought with the True Immortal when they were alive, and they have not broken through the True Immortal myself.""
And now that this war is facing the Dao Kingdom, there is definitely no shortage of true immortals.Using the art of war against mortals to deal with immortals is the same as using the sword of Shang Fang of the previous dynasty to kill the officials of this dynasty, which is basically useless!
”To sum it up in one sentence, that is, times have changed.From the perspective of the art of war alone, there is indeed nothing wrong with the governor's behavior.Even, it can be regarded as cautious. ”"However, at this moment, it is not him who is at fault, it is these tactics of war.The scope of use of these art of war is the war between mortals and mortals.But this battle is mortal versus immortal. ”As he spoke, Xiong Yan sighed and remembered the memories of his previous life.When the extraterritorial heavenly demons descended, when a god with medium or even powerful divine power personally took action, the so-called mortal art of war was really useless!
